Our specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist, Dr. Jonathan Wray (one of only a few in Perth) has undergone additional training that allows him to assess, diagnose, and treat shoulder injuries at the highest level.
Jonathan specialises in shoulder pain and provides expert care for conditions affecting the muscles, joints, bones, and nerves of the shoulder. His advanced training ensures you receive high-level treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Treatments often include hands-on techniques such as massage, exercise prescription, joint mobilisation, and manipulation; all aimed at alleviating shoulder pain and restoring optimal function.
A speciality at our Perth clinic is manipulative physiotherapy, which concerns the management and treatment of shoulder joint conditions.
We address issues like frozen shoulder, joint stiffness, and restricted movement.
Treatment involves a range of hands-on therapies, including high-velocity thrusts to manipulate stiff joints, aiding your recovery and restoring full movement in the shoulder.
Our sports physiotherapy services include the diagnosis, assessment, management, treatment, and prevention of sports-related shoulder injuries.
Common injuries treated at our clinic include rotator cuff injuries, dislocations, labral tears, and overuse injuries.
Our physiotherapists have a special interest in shoulder injuries frequently suffered by athletes in sports like swimming, tennis, rugby, and weightlifting.
Treatment focuses on relieving pain, maximising functionality, and preventing recurrence through tailored rehabilitation programmes.
We also offer postoperative rehabilitation for patients recovering from shoulder surgeries such as rotator cuff repairs, shoulder decompressions, or stabilisation procedures.
We develop customised rehabilitation plans tailored to your specific needs, with the goal of speeding up your safe recovery post-surgery.
Our focus is on restoring your shoulder mobility, strength, and overall function.
Dry needling is another effective therapy we provide, combining classical Japanese acupuncture with modern techniques to treat a wide range of shoulder-related conditions.
This therapy involves inserting exceptionally fine, stainless steel needles into trigger points along your shoulder muscles and tissues to reduce pain and improve movement and functionality.
Conditions such as muscle strains, tendinopathy, and chronic shoulder pain respond well to this therapy.
For those recovering from a shoulder injury or surgery, or looking to improve shoulder health, we offer customised exercise rehabilitation programmes.
Designed to strengthen shoulder muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance stability, these programmes range from resistance training to functional exercises, promoting a strong, energised, and healthy shoulder.
